We're going lighter on the formal lessons and leaving room for things like puzzles (and nature walks and anthills and free-reading and cooking) these days. It's been nice. And learning this way is far more effective than I ever imagined it could be. Even home schoolers have to be deliberate about making room for these kinds of enriching activities, otherwise our kids will just end up being "schooled at home," not home schooled.
